Create a log file

[Juanki]

Hi guys, 

I'm trying to create a log file in AdobeJS but I can't. Anybody can help me? I need create a log file (similar to file.log) in my machine and I want to write in this file some sentences to audit my adobe javascript code (similar to log4j).

Best regards!

Adobe devoted a lot of time and trouble to making sure Acrobat JavaScript can't write files. How about writing to the console?

Thanks for the reply, the problem is I want create a log file to audit the process and have a file with some important information to validate if my adobe form opens ok, validates ok and save in the correct path. Is it possible?

In Adobe Acrobat you can create a report with javascript.

Thank you @Bernd Alheit , it works now!

Do you know if I can declare a global variable (myReport) and use it in some parts of my form?

Best regards

[Bernd Alheit]

Yes.

E.g. at document open:

var rep = new Report();
